Tutorial: Wireless Power Transfer and Management for Medical Applications

Wireless technologies play an important role in advanced biomedical systems. Implantable medical devices (IMDs) are a rapidly growing category of bio-systems, where the use of wireless technology is a necessity. This tutorial will present several system- and circuit-level techniques towards the development of novel wireless power-transfer systems with different modalities. Also, novel integrated power-management circuits with voltage and current mode operation will be reviewed.
